Adria watched her voxyn, Kahli, pace up and down the edge of the large office the Imperial had transferred too, Kessel wasn't like Chandrilla - she couldn't take Kahli out into the grounds of the fortress to roam as she pleased her pet would get in the way of the constantly active soldiers...and she didn't want her getting hurt, nor did she think Kessels natural environment would be healthy for the voxyn.

Sacrifices had to be made for power, she looked down at her insignia, Supreme Moff, the highest Imperial rank after Emperor and she had made it, through sacrifice - she flexed her new bionic arm...Tallarn, her most trusted officer, and her first betrayer, a rebel. Their relationship had been, close, at points - and she had never even seen signs of disloyalty. But...for him to have actually tried to kill her, she shook her head of his image, he was dead now, and of no more significance.

She pulled Kahli's leash out of her draw, the officers on the base would hate the the voxyn being allowed to roam in the botanical gardens they used for relaxation - but she cared more for the pet than any of her inferiors. The voxyn was already at her side, placing her head on her mistresses knee aware that the leash meant she was being let out - Adria smiled and petted the creature before clipping on the leash and pushing herself out of her chair.

With Kahli leading her out into the hall she passed the two Royal Guard that were assigned to her, they moved, with every intention of tailing the Supreme Moff – but she raised her hand to halt them, “I am taking my pet for a walk in the botanical gardens, I hardly think I will need your protection there.” The two figures nodded and moved back against the wall, letting her move on alone – secretly she harboured much dislike for the silent warriors they unnerved her with their constant silent presence at her side. A sacrifice made to be in her position, no doubt they would some day show their worth – smiling, she continued down to the botanical garden.
